Better year why does anyone believe a word Payton says about injuries? For ten years it's been the same. "So and so has a minor injury, expect him back soon" just for them to be out weeks or go on IR. It's Payton's M.O.
I understand why he does it, I just don't understand why people take it to heart every single time he does it even though he has proven to minimize severity of injuries time and time again.

Sure we all hope for the best but to expect his pattern to change is short sighted.

Exactly. And more than that he never stated they were all cramps. He said he thought some were. Snead I think is more than cramps per Tweet from Saints reporter who quoted SP

But agreed. I just ask people to be honest and stop lying. He didn't say that they were all cramps. But I am always hopeful they're minor injuries or cramps, because that is what we need as a team.

Yeah I remember, I think it was Butler from Dallas, and he was like we expect this, then all of a sudden he was on IR. LOL

Who said they were all cramps? I just repeated what was said in his press conference. He was asked about the heat affecting more players today. He said, “Maybe a little bit more. We had a few more guys cramping. Overall, I think that is what you are looking for in training camp. You are pushing them. Overall, I thought that the periods went back-and-forth. There were a few that were sluggish.”

I assumed that applied to the two players (Klein and Warford) that were carted off. I was right.

When asked about Snead Payton answered, “Nothing specific.” Nothing more, nothing less.

Where was the tweet from the Saints reporter that said something else? I haven't seen any quote except those above. They came from the transcript of his entire press conference here.
